Cre-EAK.
CREAK!
Ed's eyes flew open. Was something trying to get his attention?
creeeak.
Was that the door hinge?
Cre-EEK.
It sounded emphatic, trying to get his attention. 'Creepy. I'll shut the door..." Ed closed his eyes.
CREAK! It demanded.
Ed jumped up and started towards the door that was really truly beginning to freak him out. It was pitch black and raining and cold. Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the room. And there, standing in the doorway, was Winry.
Her chrome ponytail swung back and forth behind her head like a steel pendulum and her unseeing eyes were shadowed by iron facial features. Her hinged mouth dropped open happily.
"creeeak." she said.
"W-W-Winry?!" Ed yelled. Shaking, he fell over.
"Cre-EAK!" She seemed irritated with him. She took a step forward, straight, stiff legs bending almost imperceptibly. He could only stare up at the robot happily looking down at him.
"CREAK!" it scolded.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!"
Ed screamed and ran past it, out the door and into the hall. It turned and sped after him, sliding on the floor inst ead of walking. Ed screamed again and shot down the stairs and out the door into the rainy night and hid under the porch while the robot searched for him.
At last he fell asleep, oblivious to the riotous laughter above him inside the house. "Ahahahah! Only you could make something like that, Winry. Big Brother was scared to death!"
"He'll probably have nightmares. This was the perfect night for it!" Pinako cackled
"Oh man, I'm laughing so hard I can't breath. I've never seen Ed run that fast." Winry panted.
"I guess I should go carry him in. I hope he doesn't run away, but I can't hear his heartbeat anymore, so either he's dead or asleep!"
This brought another round of laughter from the mischeivous trio.
The next morning, Ed calmly told Al they should get back to Central that day. "I need to talk to Sheska, that's all." He said.
"Nothing else." he said.
